Corky – I meant to write these words sometime ago – I guess that time is now your music End of the World inspired the words

End of the World 

Have they torn away the pages

Of your cosmopolitan dream

Left you in the dark to wait

With your mouth flexed to scream

When they stripped away your face

Graciously replaced it with a mask

Now struggling through your existence

That seems to be your remaining task

This seems like the end of the world

And I don’t claim to understand

Yes it’s just the end of the world

Come and take the seed from my hand

Now they have you on the run

And there’s nothing you haven’t tried

With no bullets in your gun

And you’re just hollow now inside

Which way do you turn?

In this room without a door

Which way do you fall?

When you’re already laying on the floor 

This seems like the end of the world

And I don’t claim to understand

Yes it’s just the end of the world

Come and take the money from my hand

Have they torn away the pages

Of your metropolitan life

Left you with a stranger

Who used to be your wife

Now your ceilings full of mirrors

And your baskets are full of dreams

Your mind is a maze of faces

You’re alive in someone else’s scene

This seems like the end of the world

And I don’t claim to understand

Yes it’s just the end of the world

Come and take the memories from my hand
